I'm sure over the next few days this will be figured out better.
I've looked at it and am concerned, but I'm no Phage. Need ppl who know more to comment.
If it did happen I think that would confirm that Kim Jong-Un really is crazy.edit on 9-4-2013 by jonnywhite because: (no reason given)
In 1962, the Soviet Union also performed a series of three EMP-producing nuclear tests in space over Kazakhstan, which were the last in the series called "The K Project".[11] Although these weapons were much smaller (300 kiloton or 1.3 PJ) than the Starfish Prime test, since those tests were done over a populated large land mass (and also at a location where the Earth's magnetic field was greater), the damage caused by the resulting EMP was reportedly much greater than in the Starfish Prime nuclear test. The geomagnetic storm–like E3 pulse (from the test designated as "Test 184") induced an electric current surge in a long underground power line that caused a fire in the power plant in the city of Karaganda. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the level of this damage was communicated informally to scientists in the United States.[12] Formal documentation of some of the EMP damage in Kazakhstan exists[13][14] but is still sparse in the open scientific literature.
The concept of the explosively pumped flux compression generator for generating a non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse was conceived as early as 1951 by Andrei Sakharov in the Soviet Union,[16] but nations have usually kept their most recent work on non-nuclear EMP highly classified until the technology was old enough for similar ideas to be conceived by physicists in other nations.

All wonderful doomsday theories for the USA aside for the fact that none of them accounts for how to handle the massive numbers of warheads the USA would then use in retaliation... WE shut of your refrigerators vs WE shut off YOU is the only possible outcome of this attack method

By that time, the million NK troops will already be in SK attacking the cities.
You can’t destroy the NK troops with nukes when they are already in SK.
You can nuke the NK military bases but the NK troops will be no where close to them at that time.
You could nuke the NK capital to take out the leadership, but that won’t stop the attacking army.
This is a “one shot” effort. They win, or they die and take a lot of people with them.

They don’t go across the mine fields, they will go under them. Remember the countless tunnels. The troops will be flooding into SK behind the battle line and attacking from the back side.
